Hello, I have a question. Let's say I'm doing a math test, am I allowed to look in my notes to see the formulas or does this count as cheating?

Most likely it's not allowed, but it really depends if your teacher allows it.

Some teachers may allow it. Check with yours.

I had a teacher who told us that we could look at notes, our book, crib sheets, or go online to find answers on our tests.

But if we took the time to do that, we'd never finish in time. We had to start writing fast when he said we could go, and not stop till the bell rang. If you knew the material cold, you'd do well. If you had to stop to ponder the meaning of life, or look up answers, you'd flunk.

Hello! When it comes to exams or tests, the rules can vary depending on the institution, course, or teacher. In most cases, using notes or formula sheets during a test would be considered cheating, as it violates the principle of demonstrating your knowledge and skills without external help. Therefore, it is generally expected that you should memorize or understand the necessary formulas beforehand. However, it's always best to check with your teacher or examine the instructions provided for the specific test to know the rules and guidelines regarding the use of notes or formulas.
